#### What are some recommended extensions? What source is the best? What is the replacement for source X? Where to read manga Y?
|
||||
Tachiyomi does not endorse or recommend any manga source, and there is no best extension. Instead, we encourage users to spend some time trying out a few sources themselves and discover what sources work best for them. What works well for somebody else might not work well for you.
|
||||

<ElAlert type="info" title="Disclaimer" description="Tachiyomi is not hosting any content, we are not affiliated with or responsible for any source that is; slow, down, missing chapters, or has subpar image quality." show-icon :closable="false"></ElAlert>
|
||||
|
||||
#### What are scanlator sources?
|
||||
Manga that are not officially licensed are translated by scanlators, who either publish on their websites or **MangaDex**. This practice contrasts with official sources like **MANGA Plus By SHUEISHA** or **VIZ Shonen Jump**, which host officially licensed and translated manga.
|
||||
|
||||
Learn more about scanlation in this **Wikipedia** [**article**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanlation).
|
||||
|
||||
#### How do I request a new extension?
|
||||
Open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues) if one does not already exist. Make sure it is not on the removed extensions list [here](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/3475) first.

When installing your first extension and you are prompted that your device *is not allowed* to install unknown apps from that source, follow the prompt to allow it.
|
||||
|
||||
In *newer* versions of **Android**, you need to enable **Install unknown apps** on a per-app basis.

When installing your first extension and you are prompted that your device *is not allowed* to install unknown apps from that source, follow the prompt to allow it.

#### How do I uninstall an extension?
|
||||
Extensions for **Tachiyomi** are technically installed the same as standard apps. Either you uninstall them through the app section on your device's settings or do it in **Tachiyomi**.
|
||||
|
||||
::: guide
|
||||
To uninstall an extension from within **Tachiyomi**, go to <NavigationText item="browse"/> → **Extensions** then tap **Uninstall** on the extension you want to remove.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### Why can't I install or update extensions from the app properly?
|
||||
MIUI users (i.e. Xiaomi devices or related brands like POCO) often have issues with this. You can try:
|
||||
|
||||
- Set your installer mode (in the app's Advanced settings) to "Legacy" if it isn't already.
|
||||
- Switch **MIUI Optimizations** under **Developer Settings** to **OFF** when installing or updating extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
If it still doesn't work or the list of extensions doesn't load at all, manually download extensions from [here](/extensions/). If that doesn't load either, try using a VPN as that likely means your network is blocking it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Removed Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why am I unable to download an extension that used to exist?
|
||||
Extensions tend to be removed for a variety of reasons:
|
||||
|
||||
- They become too much of a cat and mouse game to maintain due to the website owners changing the site frequently to deter scrapers.
|
||||
- The site scrambles images in more than one way, making it impossible to make every image unscrambleable.
|
||||
- A scanlator team requests the removal of their site from Tachiyomi.
|
||||
- The site is paywalled.
|
||||
- Require reverse engineering another app.
|
||||
- The site has been shut down.
|
||||
|
||||
A list of extensions that have been removed is available [here](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/3475), but it does not include sites that have gone offline.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Split Extensions
|
||||
Extensions have been split due to the sheer number of extensions in a single extension, with Madara reaching over 200 extensions at one point, making it unreasonable for both devs and users to filter through extensions. For a deeper explanation of the issue, [this](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/4287) GitHub issue explains in more detail.
|
||||
|
||||
#### What extensions have been split?
|
||||
All of them have been split.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why does my multisource extension show up as obsolete?
|
||||
The multisource extension is obsolete because it has been split. The multisource extension has been removed from the repository. It is not actually obsolete.
|
||||
|
||||
##### How do I move to a split extension?
|
||||
Install the extension that your manga is from, and then uninstall the multisource extension. If the manga shows the source as a bunch of numbers, force close the app. For known issues with split extensions, go to this [GitHub issue](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/5672).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Do I need to migrate?
|
||||
No, unless expressly stated, the internal ID of sources has not changed, so migration is unnecessary.
|
||||
|
||||
#### What if I uninstall the multisource extension before I install the singular extensions?
|
||||
See what extension IDs correspond to what extensions [here](https://pastebin.com/raw/QX2scdRT).
